Pre-teen pregnancies are rising in the Philippines – critics blame the Catholic Church
Pre-teen pregnancies are rising in the Philippines – critics blame the Catholic Church
Experts fear the country’s culture of ‘prevailing conservatism’, created by Catholicism, is a barrier to contraception and sex education
It’s absolutely the Catholic Church. The country is incredibly Catholic. They often don’t use any form of birth control nor even tampons as it’s looked down upon. Overpopulated too
Something tells me PRE-teen pregnancies are a bigger problem than whoever's having sex with kids under-13 not using birth control.
Unless it's pre-teens having sex with each other. Then sex education, birth control and access to reproductive rights is the issue to solve.
Fuck, I read that wrong. Pre-teen would be 12 or younger right? What the actual fuck?
They're the same people that oppose sex education and birth control
I cannot believe an article like this would use the language “girls falling pregnant”. Nobody falls pregnant.
And usually the Telegraph is such a pinnacle of good journalism 🤔
They would never victim blame...
"Girls raped pregnant"
"Girls lacking sexual education becomes pregnant"
If the Catholic Church only had 100 000 members, it would be called a dangerous cult, with politicians calling for its ban.
The obsessively pro-life religion that also strongly shames people, while also not really caring for them either unless they contribute to the cause?
